In this short, provocative talk, financier SanguDelle questions whether microfinance — small loans to small entrepreneurs — is the best way to drive growth in developing countries. "We seem to be fixated on this romanticized idea that every poor person in Africa is an entrepreneur,” he says. "Yet, my work has taught me that most people want jobs.” Delle, a TED Fellow, makes the case for supporting large companies and factories — and clearing away the obstacles to pan-African trade.

While small-scale aid and charities are doing important work in Africa, they are not able to provide the jobs that are necessary for long-term growth.
Question: Which aid programs are doing the best work?Moyo: I mean, I sit on a number of charities, on the board of a number of charities that are doing fantastic work in Africa. And I'll come into details in a moment, but I think what's really important to stress here again is what these charities can and cannot do? So, the charities that I sit on are able to go into these countries and actually provide bandage solutions intermediate solutions. They cannot provide jobs which is where it's really important for us to see much more involvement in the private sector and that's why I'm talking about this other form of aid. And why it's hampered that opportunity. Some of the charities that I think of doing some fantastic work are places like Room to Read, which has got a very targeted programs towards helping young people get to access to books. Other charities, for example, I sit on the board of a charity called "Lundin for Africa" which is a very, very clearly defined mandate to try and support through lending projects in microfinance across the continent. And the third charity that I worked for or I always...I'm a patron...for whom I'm a patron is called "Ark" AbsolutelyReturn for Kids again, very targeted involvement providing anti-retrovirals to Africans...across the Africa, but again, very narrow and also no illusion that they are going to be providing a long-term sustainable growth to these countries. So, there're some examples of some interesting programs.
Question: What do you think of the Millennium Development Goals?Moyo: Well, to the extent that we know, we're not going to achieve those goals, which is obvious 2015 is around the corner...you know, the architects of the Millennium Development Goals are themselves going around saying that you know, Africa is likely not to meet any of those goals. So, I think those type of very sort of large, big scale large focus lofty goals tend to meet to be red herrings for the fundamental issues. What I'm looking to see is much more active programs to implement the things that we know worked, the things that have made China, China and India, and South Africa and Botswana successful at creating jobs and reducing poverty. That's what we need to focus our efforts on. I think it's also important that we focus on spinning a more positive story about Africa. Too many of the NGOs and celebrities and charities around are very focused on perpetuating a negative stereo type about the concept which cannot be helpful to raise the very young Africans that are coming up across the continent. That's a no value to be negative and yet that's what we see across the continent. So, I think, we just need to do more of what we know works and less of what we know does not work. In fact there is no country on Earth today that has achieved economic development and reduced poverty by relaying on aid. Not a single one, and yet we're pushing a product that we know doesn't work at the time when we know what does work and that's what the issue is here.
Question: Is microfinance a better alternative?Moyo: Absolutely, microfinance is one of the tools for development that I talked about in the book. It's an amazing, amazing way of providing support to Africans and people all around the world to finance themselves and therefore be able to stand on their own two feet. They can provide themselves an income, provide education and healthcare to their children. There are numerous examples of this. From Muhammad Yunus want to know about price from Grameen Bank and I just was on a discussion program with him not too long ago. Even in this market, he's, you know, with all the challenges of the capital markets right now. He's managed to raise $1 billion from the very small aid student, very small communities within Bangladesh. It's a billion dollars in rural Bangladesh and you know, very, very little default rates and you know, tremendous success. These are the type of programs that you'd becoming out of the multilateral institutions and they are not...we seen more of the same giving more money to African government. Giving money to governments around the world whereas it seems to me we know what works and give us another example I talked about in the book. It's an internet interface for...minimum of $25, you can lend to an entrepreneur anywhere around the world. Again, helping to finance a job and again, lending is the operative word, gives opportunity for Africans on the ground, so actually meaningful change their lives.

After western powers, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank recently suspended financial aid to Mozambique, the country has now turned to China.

In "Dead Aid," Dambisa Moyo describes the state of postwar development policy in Africa today and unflinchingly confronts a great myth: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined, while millions continue to suffer. Drawing a sharp contrast between African countries that have rejected the aid route and prospered and others that have become aid-dependent and seen poverty increase, Moyo illuminates the way in which an overreliance on aid has trapped developing nations in a vicious circle of dependency, corruption, market distortion, and further poverty. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by both Hollywood celebrities and policy makers, she offers a bold new road map for financing the development of the world's poorest countries.

Development Finance is evolving and we see more and more development partners (donors, government agencies, private sector, CSOs) embracing the growing need of financing on a more results based approach rather than an activity based outlook.

Background

Africa and De viris illustribus were partially inspired by Petrarch's visit to Rome in 1337. According to Bergin and Wilson (p. ix). It seems very likely that the inspirational vision of the Eternal City must have been the immediate spur to the design of the Africa and probably De viris illustribus as well. After returning from his grand tour, the first sections of Africa were written in the valley of Vaucluse. Petrarch recalls

The fact that he abandoned it early on is not entirely correct since it was far along when he received two invitations (from Rome and from Paris) in September 1340 each asking him to accept the crown as poet laureate. A preliminary form of the poem was completed in time for the laurel coronation April 8, 1341 (Easter Sunday).

Africa (Perpetuum Jazzile album)

Africa is 2009 Perpetuum Jazzile album. By large most successful song from the album is a capella version of Toto's "Africa", the performance video of which has received more than 15 million YouTube views since its publishing in May 2009 until September 2013.

South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.

Dambisa Moyo: Stop Sending Aid to Africa

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/06/05/Uncommon_Knowledge_Dambisa_Moyo
Economist and author Dambisa Moyo responds to her critics, explaining the long-term impact that charitable HIV/AIDS programs will have on building sustainable economies in Africa. She theorizes that such financial contributions allow African governments to be dependent on other world powers.
-----
During the past fifty years, more than $1 trillion in development-related aid has been transferred from rich countries to Africa. Dambisa Moyo asserts, however, that this assistance has made African people no better off. "Africa's real per capita income today is lower than in the 1970s, with over half of the 700 million Africans living on less than a dollar a day."

Sangu Delle: In praise of macro -- yes, macro -- finance in Africa

In this short, provocative talk, financier SanguDelle questions whether microfinance — small loans to small entrepreneurs — is the best way to drive growth in developing countries. "We seem to be fixated on this romanticized idea that every poor person in Africa is an entrepreneur,” he says. "Yet, my work has taught me that most people want jobs.” Delle, a TED Fellow, makes the case for supporting large companies and factories — and clearing away the obstacles to pan-African trade.

Mozambique turns to China for financial aid

After western powers, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank recently suspended financial aid to Mozambique, the country has now turned to China.

The president, who is accompanied by high ranking government officials, met with Chinese PremierLi Keqiang who pledged cooperation in industrial…

In "Dead Aid," Dambisa Moyo describes the state of postwar development policy in Africa today and unflinchingly confronts a great myth: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined, while millions continue to suffer. Drawing a sharp contrast between African countries that have rejected the aid route and prospered and others that have become aid-dependent and seen poverty increase, Moyo illuminates the way in which an overreliance on aid has trapped developing nations in a vicious circle of dependency, corruption, market distortion, and further poverty. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by ...

While small-scale aid and charities are doing important work in Africa, they are not able to provide the jobs that are necessary for long-term growth.
Question...

While small-scale aid and charities are doing important work in Africa, they are not able to provide the jobs that are necessary for long-term growth.
Question: Which aid programs are doing the best work?Moyo: I mean, I sit on a number of charities, on the board of a number of charities that are doing fantastic work in Africa. And I'll come into details in a moment, but I think what's really important to stress here again is what these charities can and cannot do? So, the charities that I sit on are able to go into these countries and actually provide bandage solutions intermediate solutions. They cannot provide jobs which is where it's really important for us to see much more involvement in the private sector and that's why I'm talking about this other form of aid. And why it's hampered that opportunity. Some of the charities that I think of doing some fantastic work are places like Room to Read, which has got a very targeted programs towards helping young people get to access to books. Other charities, for example, I sit on the board of a charity called "Lundin for Africa" which is a very, very clearly defined mandate to try and support through lending projects in microfinance across the continent. And the third charity that I worked for or I always...I'm a patron...for whom I'm a patron is called "Ark" AbsolutelyReturn for Kids again, very targeted involvement providing anti-retrovirals to Africans...across the Africa, but again, very narrow and also no illusion that they are going to be providing a long-term sustainable growth to these countries. So, there're some examples of some interesting programs.
Question: What do you think of the Millennium Development Goals?Moyo: Well, to the extent that we know, we're not going to achieve those goals, which is obvious 2015 is around the corner...you know, the architects of the Millennium Development Goals are themselves going around saying that you know, Africa is likely not to meet any of those goals. So, I think those type of very sort of large, big scale large focus lofty goals tend to meet to be red herrings for the fundamental issues. What I'm looking to see is much more active programs to implement the things that we know worked, the things that have made China, China and India, and South Africa and Botswana successful at creating jobs and reducing poverty. That's what we need to focus our efforts on. I think it's also important that we focus on spinning a more positive story about Africa. Too many of the NGOs and celebrities and charities around are very focused on perpetuating a negative stereo type about the concept which cannot be helpful to raise the very young Africans that are coming up across the continent. That's a no value to be negative and yet that's what we see across the continent. So, I think, we just need to do more of what we know works and less of what we know does not work. In fact there is no country on Earth today that has achieved economic development and reduced poverty by relaying on aid. Not a single one, and yet we're pushing a product that we know doesn't work at the time when we know what does work and that's what the issue is here.
Question: Is microfinance a better alternative?Moyo: Absolutely, microfinance is one of the tools for development that I talked about in the book. It's an amazing, amazing way of providing support to Africans and people all around the world to finance themselves and therefore be able to stand on their own two feet. They can provide themselves an income, provide education and healthcare to their children. There are numerous examples of this. From Muhammad Yunus want to know about price from Grameen Bank and I just was on a discussion program with him not too long ago. Even in this market, he's, you know, with all the challenges of the capital markets right now. He's managed to raise $1 billion from the very small aid student, very small communities within Bangladesh. It's a billion dollars in rural Bangladesh and you know, very, very little default rates and you know, tremendous success. These are the type of programs that you'd becoming out of the multilateral institutions and they are not...we seen more of the same giving more money to African government. Giving money to governments around the world whereas it seems to me we know what works and give us another example I talked about in the book. It's an internet interface for...minimum of $25, you can lend to an entrepreneur anywhere around the world. Again, helping to finance a job and again, lending is the operative word, gives opportunity for Africans on the ground, so actually meaningful change their lives.

In "Dead Aid," Dambisa Moyo describes the state of postwar development policy in Africa today and unflinchingly confronts a great myth: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined, while millions continue to suffer. Drawing a sharp contrast between African countries that have rejected the aid route and prospered and others that have become aid-dependent and seen poverty increase, Moyo illuminates the way in which an overreliance on aid has trapped developing nations in a vicious circle of dependency, corruption, market distortion, and further poverty. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by both Hollywood celebrities and policy makers, she offers a bold new road map for financing the development of the world's poorest countries.

South Africa Finance Disagrees With UK Aid Decision

South Africa's finance minister says he never agreed with the UK's decision to pull development aid out of the country by 2015. South African officials are furious at what they say was an inadequate consultation process leading up to the announcement.

Sangu Delle: In praise of macro -- yes, macro -- finance in Africa

In this short, provocative talk, financier SanguDelle questions whether microfinance — small loans to small entrepreneurs — is the best way to drive growth in developing countries. "We seem to be fixated on this romanticized idea that every poor person in Africa is an entrepreneur,” he says. "Yet, my work has taught me that most people want jobs.” Delle, a TED Fellow, makes the case for supporting large companies and factories — and clearing away the obstacles to pan-African trade.

Rethinking development finance

The OECD is working to devise a new, broader measure of official support for development to reflect big changes since the concept of ODA -- or official development assistance -- was devised. Private capital flows are now much bigger than traditional aid and there has been a geographical shift in where the world's poorest people live.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Mallence Bart-Williams introduced her second home Sierra Leone and its talented people, who are part of her project FOLORUNSHO. Find out more via http://www.tedxberlin.de
Mallence Bart-Williams was born in Cologne, Germany. She is a Sierra Leonean writer and filmmaker and a German fashion designer. She pursued her studies in economics and finance in Paris, Singapore, and Great Britain. Today she lives across the globe, produces an all-natural cosmetics line in Hong Kong, and is the founder and creative director of the Freetown-based creative collective FOLORUNSHO, a ‘SHARITY’ that she initiated with street kids in Sierra Leone.
Due to her German-Sierra Leonean roots she perceives herself as a bridge connecting two vastly different worlds. Her diverse background enables her to see creative solutions to common problems. Within their three years of operation, her collective has taken homeless children off the streets and into school, developed a sneaker and clothing collection, published a book and documentary of their story, and has held fine art exhibitions. Through her work with FOLORUNSHO she connects cultural contrast, enabling people to share ideas, take action, and get results.

Africa Needs Jobs, Not Aid

While small-scale aid and charities are doing important work in Africa, they are not able to provide the jobs that are necessary for long-term growth.
Question: Which aid programs are doing the best work?Moyo: I mean, I sit on a number of charities, on the board of a number of charities that are doing fantastic work in Africa. And I'll come into details in a moment, but I think what's really important to stress here again is what these charities can and cannot do? So, the charities that I sit on are able to go into these countries and actually provide bandage solutions intermediate solutions. They cannot provide jobs which is where it's really important for us to see much more involvement in the private sector and that's why I'm talking about this other form of aid. And why it's hampered that opportunity. Some of the charities that I think of doing some fantastic work are places like Room to Read, which has got a very targeted programs towards helping young people get to access to books. Other charities, for example, I sit on the board of a charity called "Lundin for Africa" which is a very, very clearly defined mandate to try and support through lending projects in microfinance across the continent. And the third charity that I worked for or I always...I'm a patron...for whom I'm a patron is called "Ark" AbsolutelyReturn for Kids again, very targeted involvement providing anti-retrovirals to Africans...across the Africa, but again, very narrow and also no illusion that they are going to be providing a long-term sustainable growth to these countries. So, there're some examples of some interesting programs.
Question: What do you think of the Millennium Development Goals?Moyo: Well, to the extent that we know, we're not going to achieve those goals, which is obvious 2015 is around the corner...you know, the architects of the Millennium Development Goals are themselves going around saying that you know, Africa is likely not to meet any of those goals. So, I think those type of very sort of large, big scale large focus lofty goals tend to meet to be red herrings for the fundamental issues. What I'm looking to see is much more active programs to implement the things that we know worked, the things that have made China, China and India, and South Africa and Botswana successful at creating jobs and reducing poverty. That's what we need to focus our efforts on. I think it's also important that we focus on spinning a more positive story about Africa. Too many of the NGOs and celebrities and charities around are very focused on perpetuating a negative stereo type about the concept which cannot be helpful to raise the very young Africans that are coming up across the continent. That's a no value to be negative and yet that's what we see across the continent. So, I think, we just need to do more of what we know works and less of what we know does not work. In fact there is no country on Earth today that has achieved economic development and reduced poverty by relaying on aid. Not a single one, and yet we're pushing a product that we know doesn't work at the time when we know what does work and that's what the issue is here.
Question: Is microfinance a better alternative?Moyo: Absolutely, microfinance is one of the tools for development that I talked about in the book. It's an amazing, amazing way of providing support to Africans and people all around the world to finance themselves and therefore be able to stand on their own two feet. They can provide themselves an income, provide education and healthcare to their children. There are numerous examples of this. From Muhammad Yunus want to know about price from Grameen Bank and I just was on a discussion program with him not too long ago. Even in this market, he's, you know, with all the challenges of the capital markets right now. He's managed to raise $1 billion from the very small aid student, very small communities within Bangladesh. It's a billion dollars in rural Bangladesh and you know, very, very little default rates and you know, tremendous success. These are the type of programs that you'd becoming out of the multilateral institutions and they are not...we seen more of the same giving more money to African government. Giving money to governments around the world whereas it seems to me we know what works and give us another example I talked about in the book. It's an internet interface for...minimum of $25, you can lend to an entrepreneur anywhere around the world. Again, helping to finance a job and again, lending is the operative word, gives opportunity for Africans on the ground, so actually meaningful change their lives.

Mozambique turns to China for financial aid

After western powers, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank recently suspended financial aid to Mozambique, the country has now turned to China.
Mozambican PresidentFilipe Jacinto Nyusi is currently on a 5-day state visit to China in what is being viewed as a move to tie up financing to cover the gap in the country's public finances.
The president, who is accompanied by high ranking government officials, met with Chinese PremierLi Keqiang who pledged cooperation in industrial…

In "Dead Aid," Dambisa Moyo describes the state of postwar development policy in Africa today and unflinchingly confronts a great myth: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined, while millions continue to suffer. Drawing a sharp contrast between African countries that have rejected the aid route and prospered and others that have become aid-dependent and seen poverty increase, Moyo illuminates the way in which an overreliance on aid has trapped developing nations in a vicious circle of dependency, corruption, market distortion, and further poverty. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by both Hollywood celebrities and policy makers, she offers a bold new road map for financing the development of the world's poorest countries.

Development Finance in a Post 2015 era

Vitalice Meja of Reality of Aid AfricaNetwork engages us on issues around DevelopmentFinance in a Post2015 era.
Development Finance is evolving and we see more and more development partners (donors, government agencies, private sector, CSOs) embracing the growing need of financing on a more results based approach rather than an activity based outlook.
What framework must be put in place for all players to engage effectively?
